Business-oriented company
I’m so frustrated with politics and wonder which company is business-oriented or at least wants to achieve something by building something meaningful. Politics here means a few people collude together to be counterproductive to exchange personal gain regardless business interests of the company or working ethics. Please list it if it is “others”. Thanks!
Didn’t coin base disallow political discussions at work?
There are no offices without office politics. I think Google has not-that-bad office politics, but maybe I'm just not high up enough to see. They certainly have horrible amounts of non-office politics mixed in to even things out, though.

Heard there's room for growth these days
You sound like a dirty conservative. *eyes you suspiciously*
Whenever there exists people and organizations, politics are a necessity. It cannot be avoided. You are dealing with humans who have lives, interests, and motives. One person influencing groups of other people involves gaining trust and respect. By very definition, politics is a necessity. Because all companies are structured as hierarchies, it means by nature the structure has leaders and followers. Those leaders need to gain influence with their followers and other leaders in order to achieve anything.
Oh sorry, are we talking government politics or business politics?
One can suggest that government politics are driven by business politics? Both are intertwined in what we call lobbies or influence. As you mentioned, we are human. Hence we are driven by primitive instincts such as looking for a secure base group to belong to.
